Ways to Help Our Cause
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a little known and poorly understood cause of a heart attack. SCAD is the #1 cause of heart attacks in women under age 50, pregnant women & new moms. Although less common, it can affect men too. Research is needed to identify the cause(s) and the best treatment options.
